King Rat

They say we live in the sewers among the dirt and filth. But tell me, who built the sewers? Not us. Who fills the land with rubbish? Not us. Who throws their uneaten food out into the street? We don't. Who drives the cars and the lorries that pollute our beautiful world? Not us.

They say you are never more than six feet away from one of us in the big city. Well, you may be closer than you think — just look in the mirror. Children, I beg you to study hard at school so you may be able to put right what your ancestors got wrong.
